The book is badly written. I found I had to read some paragraphs a second time to clarify the meaning and sometimes, probably due to careless syntax, the opposite meaning to what was intended was conveyed. The plot was not always consistent which was probably due to the careless writing mentioned above. It was an enjoyable light read, but I will not be reading Ruth Rendell again.
